Gao Zong and Eunuch Fu were both dumbfounded. However, after being dumbfounded for a while, they got used to it. After asking some questions in a low voice, Gao Zong spoke again, "Master Xiao, can you help me check when Zixing will have a child?"
Jiujiu, "…"
Yan Sui, "…"
Eunuch Fu, "…"
Jiujiu's mouth twitched and said, "Well, it'll be one or two years if it's fast, three to five years if it's slow. It depends on fate."
Hearing Jiujiu's answer, Gao Zong sighed in disappointment. At this moment, Yan Sui directly said, "Don't worry, Imperial Grandfather, I'll let you hold your great-grandchild next year."
After Yan Sui finished speaking, he looked down at Jiujiu and said in a gentle and sweet voice, "What do you think ~"
Before Jiujiu could speak, Gao Zong laughed and even began to discuss the name of the child with Yan Sui.
Jiujiu, "…"
Gao Zong's actions were obviously so childish, but Yan Sui was very cooperative. He even took the initiative to say that the name Gao Zong came up with was not good and should be changed to something else, etc., which made Gao Zong stunned.
Because he was happy, Gao Zong even asked them to stay for dinner. When the two of them returned, the moon was already high in the sky.
The two of them went to the house and asked the servants to put the treasures rewarded by Gao Zong in the storeroom, while Yan Sui directly carried Jiujiu to the bed to do some exercise.
Yes, Imperial Grandfather wanted a great-grandchild. He was not doing this for lust, but to satisfy the old man's wish.
Jiujiu and Yan Sui were very sweet here, while Ouyang Pinting and the Eighth Prince were not peaceful.
The Eighth Prince was very ambitious, but he could not keep up with the conditions. Even if he had an important task in hand, he could not stand at the center of power at all. After Ouyang Pinting left the Ouyang residence and married Jiujiu a few days later, Official Ouyang directly announced that Ouyang Pinting had passed away due to illness and even held a funeral.
Even if Ouyang Pinting wanted to go back and say that she was not dead, it would be useless.
Ouyang Daren didn't like Ouyang Pinting to begin with. Especially after bringing Jiujiu back, he directly ordered people to monitor Ouyang Pinting's every move. Ouyang Pinting thought that her actions were very secretive, but she didn't expect that her actions had already been exposed.
Not to mention that she had repeatedly tried to ruin Jiujiu through rumors and slanders. Lord Ouyang could not tolerate it.
Ouyang Pinting's action of bringing Lu Liu and taking away all the valuables in the middle of the night had thoroughly angered Lord Ouyang. Not to mention that the kinship between the two of them was originally as indifferent as water, even if there was kinship, it shouldn't be squandered like this.
Originally, Madam Ouyang wanted to be soft-hearted, but after being reprimanded by Official Ouyang, she went along with Official Ouyang's wishes and announced that Ouyang Pinting had passed away due to illness.
Ouyang Pinting boasted that she was a strong woman from the new era, but in this era where power reigned supreme, without the identity of Ouyang Pinting, even if her mind was full of wonderful ideas, without the corresponding identity, her wonderful ideas were worthless.
And the Eighth Prince, who originally brought Ouyang Pinting home because of her beauty and intelligence, after Official Ouyang Pinting's death, did not mention the position of Princess anymore. He even wanted to take Ouyang Pinting as a concubine.
When Ouyang Pinting left with the Eighth Prince, it was for cooperation, not for the sake of being a concubine.
Because she was under someone else's roof, Ouyang Pinting could only lower her head and feign civility. But that night, she left with Lu Liu again. This time, Ouyang Pinting did not continue to look for people, but went directly to the Xiongnu.
Over there, as long as your martial strength was high enough, then your status would be high. Moreover, they were very tolerant of women.
Ouyang Pinting was a beautiful woman with good martial arts and wisdom. Once she went there, she received the favor of many princes.
And among the many princes, Ouyang Pinting chose the Crown Prince.
Ouyang Pinting's mind was full of wonderful ideas, and each of her ideas was better than the last. The Xiongnu people, who were originally fierce, quickly became as sharp as a sword under her training, and were unstoppable.
The Xiongnu people were known as the human race on horseback. They mainly herded horses, and food was especially scarce. Therefore, every winter, they would start a war to snatch food and women.
Last winter, the Xiongnu people went to snatch food, but the other side was already prepared, and they returned in defeat. Therefore, everyone was waiting for this winter to start a war again, hoping that this time, they could snatch more food and women.
After listening to the Crown Prince's explanation, Ouyang Pinting directly pointed out, "They were prepared last year, so they can naturally do it this year. Instead of waiting until winter to snatch food, why not go now?"
Ouyang Pinting looked at the Crown Prince's puzzled face and explained, "It is spring now, and they will definitely not be prepared. Therefore, if we go now, we can achieve an unexpected effect. Moreover, the defense there is extremely lax. If we attack now, we will definitely be able to obtain a complete victory. Who knows, we might even be able to seize the city."
Ouyang Pinting looked into the Crown Prince's eyes and painted a big picture for him, "Teach a man to fish rather than give him a fish. If we can seize the city, then we can also grow crops like the Han people. At that time, not only will we have food, we will also have a city. With time, we will be able to conquer the entire Great Han Dynasty. What does the Crown Prince think?"
Ouyang Pinting's picture was too big and too sweet, and the Crown Prince was instantly captivated.
The Crown Prince had lived in the grasslands since he was young. Every winter, he would see many people starving to death. And every winter, countless people would die in order to snatch food and women.
If they could live in peace for a hundred years, who would be willing to wander about?
After thinking for a while, the Crown Prince agreed to Ouyang Pinting's idea.
The Xiongnu people had always been particularly valiant. Now that they heard the Crown Prince's picture, they were as excited as if they had taken medicine.
Just as Ouyang Pinting had said, because the Xiongnu people only attacked in the winter, the border guards were particularly lax. In an instant, the border cities were captured by the Xiongnu people. And during the night, the border cities fell one after another.
In a spurt of energy, the Xiongnu people directly occupied three border cities. Only then did they rest for a while and prepare to attack again after collecting their food.
Because no one had expected the Xiongnu people to attack at this time, by the time the news reached the capital, ten cities had already fallen.
Gao Zong was furious. The Xiongnu people's actions were simply a blatant provocation.
Because of such a big matter, the general at the border directly committed suicide to atone for his crimes.
The old general who asked for the order was over fifty years old.
How could Gao Zong dare to let the old general go? At this time, Yan Sui stood out to accept the order and expressed his willingness to go.
Gao Zong originally wanted to refuse, but Yan Sui had asked for a decree in the imperial court. Gao Zong could only select a few trusted aides to go with Yan Sui.
Because the situation at the border was tense, Yan Sui only had time to inform Jiujiu before heading to the border.
